Did They Really Think This Through

Facebook wants you to send nudes — for your own protection, of course.

The social media platform is testing an anti-revenge porn initiative in Australia which entails users uploading their own nude images and videos via the Messenger app so Facebook can digitally "hash" the media and protect such content from being spread without consent.

"Facebook is doing this in partnership with Australian government agency e-Safety in order to try to prevent people from sharing intimate images without consent," reports Tech Crunch. "If someone fears they are at risk of revenge porn, they can contact e-Safety. The organization might then tell them to send a nude photo of themselves to themselves via Messenger. Facebook’s hashing system would then be able to recognize those images in the future without needing to store them on its servers."

According to e-Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, the nude uploads are not being stored; "they’re storing the link and using artificial intelligence and other photo-matching technologies."

We’re tempted to suggest a conspiracy here — but it’s just liberals agreeing yet again that conservatives have hidden, evil motives, because modern liberals simply can’t conceive of any other reason to disagree with the liberal consensus.

“Moral precepts are constant through the ages and not obedient to circumstances.”

I, too, have been working on bob and vagana IDing algorithms, for use in totally legit and security technologies, for protection and safety.
Did you know that labia patterns are every bit as unique as fingerprints and retinal scans?! Especially if the image is taken from under a glass coffee table while you sit on it.

For testing purposes I will need a lot of samples, ladies.

Guys, the wrinkles on your coin-purse are similarly reliable identifiers as well as the texture of your helmet.

And you can send your pics to someone who's working on that algorithm, cause I'm not.
I am - above all things - a feminist, and I'm only working on women's security for now.
